PS4 “Jailbreak” Brazilian method: how to dump the PS4 NOR (Video)

Twitter user @nicolasfreires shared this video recently on youtube. It’s a detailed Video tutorial on how to dump the PS4 NOR, using a Raspberry PI 2 and the JAISPI tool.

Although the technique to dump the PS4 NOR is nothing new, this is the first time we’re getting such a detailed Tutorial in Video. On the video, you’ll see that in addition to the stuff mentioned below, the modder uses a convenient board to attach the Flash, without having to do manual wiring. Wiring things manually could prove difficult, and people have recommended creating your own PCB or getting a board like the one in the video.

The PS4 “Jailbreak” basics

The video below basically showcases the basics of the infamous “Brazilian PS4 Jailbreak” that we revealed a few month ago.It is worth noting that hackers have mentioned this method will result in a brick on recent PS4 firmwares (if you write to the NOR), don’t do it at home unless you know what you’re doing. The video only shows here how to read the NOR, not what people do after that which lets them pirate games, but that’s the basic idea.

For those willing to seriously give it a try, AlphaHack has a very detailed explanation in English on how he extracted the NOR from his console and soldered it the right way (basically the steps that this video does not show). You can get his full guide here.

Edit: yes, we’re aware this is not a “jailbreak” in the traditional meaning of the word, but this is how people have been refering to it so far, so we’ll stick to that. Deal with it!

What the f*** sort of click bait whoring is this sh**. There is no damn PS4 Jailbreak, there never was, you did not reveal anything., the PS4 is not jailbroken. I am disappointed that you of all people would allow this click whoring *** to be posted Wololo

Indeed games are VERY expensive in Brazil (230 reais, in dolars it would be 76,60. In a country that the minimum salary is 780 reais (in dolars would be 260 DOLARS) so the most ppl, if they want to play video games, they have to buy (or download) pirated copys, thats not my case, thx god I can buy PS4 original games but most of ppl in my country cant.

First of all, Jailbreak means unlocking a way to use the system in ways not intended by the manufacturer. There were never any intension from Sony to let people copy the NOR of a PS4, therefor, this is an actual Jailbreak. Second of all, they have written “Jailbreak” (within quotes), and then an explanation of what this “Jailbreak” actually does. If you are not technical enough to understand what dumping NOR means, what makes you believe that you will ever be able to implement a Custom Firmware if it ever comes one to the PS4. Third, and last, this is a huge step for the hacking community. If they ever is able to find out all “private” parts of this, they can inject the private parts into an hacked version of the NOR, not only giving us ability to downgrade versions but also inject code that can run things we’re interested in. All in all, maybe this kit will be able to put downloded games onto a console in the future 🙂

Thank you, Brazilian Hacking Team. This is a, for me, new way to hack a console! 😀 Wonder if you can do the same for 3DSWare? 🙂 (and maybe have the same NNID on two consoles at the same time!)

Clearly you don’t know who i am, if you did, you would already know, that i know far more than you ever will, but don’t worry sweet cheeks, you keep deluding yourself and thinking this is a Jailbreak, i have no cure to fix your stupid 🙂

That’s very true! I have no idea who you are, and I¨m not ashamed of it either. I’m not part of a/the hacking scene, since I’m not into black-hat hacking. I have my masters in Algorithms, but that doesn’t change a thing. Jailbreaks does mean breaking the hardware/software out of the jail that the company put it into. This hack is breaking the jail, even if it doesn’t give you full rights to do whatever you want with the system.

But to end it; Thinking you’re smarter than someone you’ve never met is a great way to miss an opportunity to learn! 🙂

Clearly you don’t understand how click bait works, or you do and you are playing dumb. Quotations or not, the word Jailbreak draws attention, far more attention than if it had not been there to begin with, attention = clicks, clicks = ad revenue = $$$$$ etc, all by deceiving the potential reader.

Now if this was an actual Jailbreak i would have no problem with the title, but as this is not even close to a Jailbreak, it simply should not have been there, you fail to realise or do not care that many people look past the quotations and just see the word Jailbreak, which is why it was added to begin with, it makes the story seem less boring and grabs more hits,

It very well might be clickbait. To some, it definitely is. The article was interesting nonetheless. Calm down – I think nobody is really that worried Wololo is an asshat running this site purely for profit anyway.

Can you not read, i think i have said it twice already, here and on Twitter. But as you seem to have an inability to read i will say it again, just for your benefit, the full stops are there to give you more of a break between each word, so that you may understand what is said a little bit easier, do read it slowly, read it ,more than once if you need to.

1.) You will find that it is called a ‘Web site’. 2.) I preferred people staying as i enjoyed arguing with them. 3.) I have problems with people being lied to and web site owners misleading people in order to get hits to their web site. So you see its not as plain and simple as you hiding behind a fake account, because you are too cowardly to speak as the person you usally speak as 🙂

Just kinda sad that someone b*tches about this sight with every comment yet he stays here. Seems his hax ego is still around. Usually if you hate something so much you stay away not go every chance you get.

SITE spell it correctly Its an S, then an I, then a T, then E, S……..I……….T……….E, i have already pointed out your problem, but the post was deleted. I know spelling seems to be a huge failing in you and so does reading and understanding, i NEVER b*tch about this SITE, i b*tch about some of its bad posts such as the b*llsh*t that RepRep posts or this click bait ***.

Apart from that, i like Wololo.net, i like Wololo, i like The Zett, i like a lot of the staff, i would say i have a problem with two dumb a*s that are staff members here, but that’s it.

And regardless of who i do or do not like, i will call someone on such articles, articles who’s sole purpose is to draw visitors who expect information on a PS4 Jailbreak, one that does not exist…

B*tching about spelling. If you don’t like the articles posted by certain people why read them when it shows who posted it? On the side of grammar I didn’t know that site was always in caps and I should be in caps. Proof read your *** before acting like the grammar god.

To the coward not using his normal nick, i never mentioned anything about grammar, so i do not understand why you would say i was acting like a ‘grammar god’, that’s right, you have a problem with reading, because if you had no problem reading, you would have seen that i commented on a silly spelling mistake and not his typo. I am glad you can use one of those online grammar correcting tools to make those posts though, otherwise i would be correcting you again.

Keep being a coward though and hiding behind a fake name, that’s what i love about you fools, you give it all the hard talk, yet are too cowardly to reply to me with your normal day to day nick 🙂

Gregory, I think you should just let these people who know absolutely nothing but having a *** up there ***, talk about these stuff. They are probably some dumb *** 9 year olds who thinks they are hackers just because they got VHBL on their PS Vita. I do agree with everything you said, but just let these dumb *** talk like they know everything. They probably have no one to talk to. 🙂

This is the best “jailbreak” ever. Everyone should know this. This “jailbreak” is better than the sh!tty Rejuvenate homebrew ***. Someone should had told me this. FU%K the vita hacks. We should do more “jailbreaks” like this one. 😉 (Just incase you don’t notice, I am being sarcastic. This is cool, but really? I don’t need to be hacker or a person who knows about coding to know this is not a jailbreak)

If they can afford a 400€ console, then they can afford 60€ games as well, ONE AT A TIME!

If not, why bother buying a 400€ console in the first place? Just invest that money in a good PC, and pirate your games over there, since it is the most open platform anyways. Get an option game pad, if you dislike mouse + keyboard.

and since i’m not that tech savy since i didn’t brother with my frigging english nor would i brother to catch up with the tech words, i’ma gonna take the words of it at my own risk. but then, how many ppl are actually stupid enough in the USA that still expect things to be given to them? and don’t forget…Brazil cares more about soccers and other stuffs than the actual games…but then, it not like the rest of the gamers cares…since they’re happily gaming, but if you’re in the usa and you’re b*tching about paying a simple $59.99 for the game…then you obiviously haven’t been around when Nintendo came out…beside, with the inflations and what not…paying $59.99 is easy…just go work at mcdonald and flip burger…or go trash raiding for cans, bottles and glasses for recycling. or if you’re really desparate…there always the hoes/gigolo route you can take…

”Edit: yes, we’re aware this is not a “jailbreak” in the traditional meaning of the word, but this is how people have been refering to it so far, so we’ll stick to that. Deal with it!”

Translation: ”Yes we are aware that we are telling our readers lies, but other websites have been doing it, but instead of being the leader we should be and educating people, we will continue telling lies because that’s what gets those morons coming to our site and reading our lies”

Nope. This is equivalent to a few whiny people complaining about sites saying “google for it” instead of “search for it”. The term “Jailbreak” is so widely used that this is what people call pretty much every exploit for any DRM device today. Deal with it, and move on.

Ill deal with it when you stop being dishonest and deceiving those that are coming here thinking there is a Jailbreak.

You are a big name in the scene, you should be educating people, instead of telling them lies and making them think this is a Jailbreak, you should be teaching them what a Jailbreak is, but like i said, without the word Jailbreak, your story wouldn’t have gotten as many hits, why have integrity when you can have hits 🙂

In order for people to be educated, they need to land on the right site. For people to land on the right sites, the sites need to use the same words people are expecting. If the scene sites don’t call it the same way that everybody else does, people will never land on the scene sites. That’s pretty obvious logic right here: If everyone in the world searches for “ps4 jailbreak”, and the only sites talking about “ps4 jailbreak” are the scam ones, people will get scammed continuously. Now, have the right scene sites use the same scammy words as the scam sites, and all of a sudden, you’re redirecting a bunch of people who might have been scammed, to the right websites with the right content.

Search for “PS4 Jailbreak” on google like everybody else does. You’ll see that this site is probably one of the top results. It at least gives people a hope to find actual answers. Before that, the top results would have been sites that plain and simple rip you off with surveys or even worse.

The scene’s stubbornness about “using the right words” is exactly the reason why some scam websites can exist and do their stuff without any trouble. Think about it and it will make sense.

You don’t see me running mad at you because your website name spells it “hax” instead of “hacks” 😉 I also fail to understand how and why you and The Z seem to think using the word “Jailbreak” in that context is such a big deal. It’s like people who fight toes and nails to make everyone else in the world understand the distinction between hackers, crackers, pirates and script kiddies. Turn out most people don’t care…

”I also fail to understand how and why you and The Z seem to think using the word “Jailbreak” in that context is such a big deal. ”

Because it is NOT a f*cking Jailbreak, you KNOW this, you claim for people to be educated they need to land on the right site, that is true, but landing on the right site to find out they have been lied to, is not educating them, it just shows them that you would rather lie to them than tell it how it is. In this scenario, i am now surprised you did not say the PS Vita was Jailbroken, the titles did not shout out ‘ Yifan Jailbroke the PS Vita’ or ‘Get Your PS Rejuvenate Jailbreak Files Here’, because that is basically what you are saying and have said in previous posts. If it is the slightest bit modified, it is Jailbroken in your view.

As far as i see it, there are similarities between you and the scamming websites, you both tell lies to get people to visit your website in order to get clicks, after all this is the only reason you put ‘Jailbreak’ in the sentence, its all about the clicks and that is your business, you get your visitors through false titles, that has nothing to do with me and is none of my business, but it doesn’t mean i am not going to say anything about it.

If top sites like yours keep using the wrong context, you are enabling the smaller websites to do it and thus starts the vicious cycle.

And spelling a websites name with HaX is a totally different context than putting the wrong word in the title of the article. HaX = Hacks and in the case of my website that is basically true. Jailbreak = device broken out of the jail, which in this articles case is NOT true.

Finally i think you are an awesome dude and Wololo.net is a kick *** site with awesome devs and staff, my intention is not to fall out with you or p*ss you off, all i wanted to do was point out that the use of the word Jailbreak in the case is 100% wrong and it looks bad that you did it.

But i will post no more, its not up to me to tell people when they are wrong, its not up to me to tell people how to run their websites, if they want to create stories with false titles, then that’s up to them, quite simply if i didn’t care, i wouldn’t have said anything to begin with.

Hi… I am desperate to get my hands on this video tutorial: ‘PS4 “Jailbreak” Brazilian method: how to dump the PS4 NOR (Video)’ Are you able to point me in the right direction to get a copy if it somewhere now it has been removed from here?? Much appreciated if can help me.. Thanks in advance

To think that I spend so much of my precious time salvaging such comments from the spam folder… hopefully this should tell you a bit about the integrity of this site, especially compared to pretty much every single other site on the scene.

Whilst i agree with you that the clickbaits is there, i strongly have to disagree about your other points.

1.) This site is not a joke, it makes a few silly choices, but that does not make it a joke, there are ton of awesome developers here and regardless of article titles, it does have some kick *** writers. 2.) Scenes never die, they sleep, but they are always around.
